an anecdote            
                                          
 today  it rained, and i would go outside 
 i thought, so i smoked  a pipe  and  got 
 dressed,  and  outside  the   rain   had 
 turned into  snow so thick  that it  was 
 as dense fog  ... and then i went to get 
 the mail, but there was  a woman and  we 
 talked  a little. now because i was high 
 and  it was snowing so funny  and i  had 
 an umbrella against  the snow, but  snow 
 all over my face anyway, and  i wondered 
        about myself, and my life
